I realize that it has been a while since I have posted anything and for that I apologize. Life has been pretty busy since we got back from Sydney. It has been a good couple of weeks and it is hard to believe that I only have less than 2 more left. My heart is so torn. I am so thankful to God that He has blessed me with all that I have been able to experience here and these people have been so awesome. I will be very very sad to leave my friends and it is really difficult because I know that for some I will probably never see them again. I know that that is all in God's hands but it is still going to be very difficult to say goodbye. At the same time....I cannot wait to see all of you back home!!!! I am so glad that I will be home for the holidays. I have missed everyone greatly and can't wait to come back and share stories and everything. So pray for my strength that I will be able to get through these next 2 weeks fully enjoying them and looking forward to all of the things that God still has planned for this next year and my time here.
On a lighter note, I said that I have been pretty busy...I am still working at the church and finally finished the really big project that I had started on but had to take a break from to decorate the church a couple of times, hehe. So that is amazing...it felt really good to have accomplished something that I know will help the church. Other than that I have been busy hanging out with people, going shopping, attending birthday parties and having so much fun! Last Friday I attended my first Ballet! It was so incredibly beautiful! It was outside at this big amphitheater thing that they have at the Botannical Gardens in Melbourne. A bunch of us took blankets and food and had a picnic there while waiting for it to start. It was so cool. I was very glad that they give you a program that tells a little bit of the story otherwise I would have been totally lost, haha. Then last night I attended one of Melbourne's Carols services. There were tons of people there and my friends and I had a blast listening to the singers and watching the dancers and just singing along and hanging out. The church's Carols service is next week, my last Sunday :(.
Well it is Sunday morning here so I should go and finish getting ready for church. Love and miss you all and can't wait to see you!

Howdy...
Well all dreams hafta come to an end. If they never ended you wouldn't have the reality time to conjur up new dreams!!
Also.. You will be able to spend eternity with some if not ALL of the people you met. So you WILL see some of them again.
God is in control, we're here for the adventure! I'm learning this myself.
2 weeks & counting.. Tick, Tick, Tick !!!

Hi My Jenna,
What absolutely wonderful experiences God has showered on your life! It is a blessing that you so generously open your heart and embrace others so freely...but with that gift comes the pull that you are feeling right now. I am so praying for you as you journey through these next emotional days. Life is strange, isn't it?...filled with highs and lows, joys and sorrows...sometimes all at the same time. But as your visit comes to a close, live each day to the fullest; enjoy each and every moment; shower them there with gratitude and a heart full of thanksgiving. Then come home to us with wonderful, precious memories, a heart changed and deepened, and a hope of seeing some of your Aussie friends again someday...maybe even here! We would LOVE to have them come stay with us!
I love you, sweet girl!!!
Mom
When you read this there will only be ONE week left! I am so excited.
This must be a difficult time for you, your dream finally came true and now it is almost over, your new friends you will have to say goodbye to and not see them for a long time, but there is some good news, you get to come home to us. YAY! Just be thankful (which I know you are) that you got to expierence the people and things you got to expierence. (I don't know if that makes sence, but it makes sence to me.)
I'm glad you finished your project at the church and feel like you helped them out. And the ballet thing sounds like something you would enjoy. And the carols sound right up your alley =)
Well enjoy your last week, make the most of it. I will see you in a WEEK! Love James
Okay!
I am so excited for you! And, I'm excited you are coming back!!!
We saw ENCHANTED last Friday with James & Kat and decided that if you ever wrote, directed and starred in a movie...this would be your cup o tea! ;o)
Praise God for giving you your heart's desire & allow you to serve Him while experiencing your "dream come true." Our God is an awesome God indeed!
Love you-Mary
Yeah, all good things must come to an end :(
WHAT A READ!!! Incredible reading about your stay! God bless your stay in Chilli (sorry if that's misspelled). Glad to hear we're in mind even as much as across the globe. :)
Thank-you for sharing this here and last Wednesday about your stay. It is a blessing to hear about every time God touches someone's life and changes it. I still vividly remember the last couple months that I went through in which the Lord completely transformed (or maybe better put REFORMED). What a blessing it is to have such a friend as well :)
God bless! Lord be with you!
Praise our Lord that you had a safe trip and have arrived in Chile. We will miss your beautiful face (good thing I have your picture :) ) and your wonderful voice. We pray you will have a joyous time in Chile and that you will return home safe and sound.
